Agent Sandboxing Momentum: Microsoft MXC GA + Community Patterns
Microsoft shipped Execution Containers (MXC) 1.0.0 GA (open source) with process/session/WSL/MicroVM options and macOS process container support. Concurrent community discussion of CubeSandbox-style isolated execution for OpenClaw + DeepSeek Harness (134 ms spin-up, control/execution plane split). Multiple other sandboxing signals in the same week.
Why it matters
The industry is moving from “ask the human every time” to “declare and enforce execution boundaries up front.” Practical for people running agents on local or multi-tenant setups who have seen the config-injection and MCP issues.
